They really want us silenced
The sound of our screams to go unheard
They really want us jobless
Our children going hungry
They really want us dead
Our blood painting the ground below their feet
They really want girls like me
To be envious of their blonde-haired daughters
They really want our brothers
In chains, behind bars
They really want us silenced
But I will scream.
I will demand to be heard.

They really want us silenced
The sound of our screams to go unheard
They really want us jobless
Our children going hungry
They really want us dead
Our blood painting the ground below their feet
They really want girls like me
To be envious of their blonde-haired daughters
They really want our brothers
In chains, behind bars
They really want us silenced
But I will scream.
I will demand to be heard.
